Why do Neo Nazi's and those alike shave their head? When most SS had full heads of hairs but the jews in concentration camps were shaved? (self.askhistorians)

The shaved heads thing started well before neo-nazis started infiltrating the skinheads movement. There are still skinheads who aren't fascists. SHARP skins, for instance. "SHARP" stands for "Skin Heads Against Racial Predudice." And they're pissed that the fascists came in and fucked up their subculture.
